MermaidLilli said:Wow, Ginn, 43 days!! You can just mosey!! But if you find you are getting to the end quicker than expected, think about adding another route. How wonderful for you. And the time is near.
I will be there in May....somewhere.
Still deciding,
Lillian

Anyone ever find the need for Thermal T's & LJ's (light weight) for the mountains in April?Gill Stoker-Lavelle said:Several very thin and light layers....
Yes.... I did. I encountered some very cold, wet weather and even snow on the high ground near Le Puy and crossing the Aubrac Plateau. A week later in Conques it was 30C+. But you need to be prepared for the possibility of a cold snap in April, judging by my experience! Even in June last year, on the Meseta some days the wind was bitterly cold.colinPeter said:Anyone ever find the need for Thermal T's & LJ's (light weight) for the mountains in April?Gill Stoker-Lavelle said:Several very thin and light layers....
